Planning and preparing weekday breakfast for our family is brutal, and one meal I wish that my kids could tackle themselves. Given that I still feel like my two small children lack the knowledge of how to master a pan over an open flame, I concede and wake up early to make sure my kids […]

This post is brought to you by our partners at Macaroni Grill. But as always, our opinions are our own!There really is no reason to say, busy mom. The word mom implies that one is busy. Am I right? Which is why anything that can give me more quality time with my family and less […]

When I was a child, going back to school was fun. But now I’m an adult, and a mom of two school-aged children, and I finally get what back to school means for parents. As a kid I got new clothes, I got new shoes, and I was excited to find out my new teacher. […]

This post is brought to you by our partners at Your Mechanic. But as always our opinions are always our own!Does your mechanic make house calls? Because I’m never going to the repair shop again. Seriously. Every single time I have to go into the mechanic I have to wait forever in the worst […]

My kids love their babysitter, except she just graduated and is currently looking for a job in her career field. Though we knew this day was coming, it’s never easy to say goodbye or adjust to someone new. The last few years has been a steady stream of wonderful women that have graced us with […]

I love Disney. That is actually an understatement. Among the many hallmarks of a Disney-obsessed person, I have an Annual Pass that allows me entry to the Anaheim theme parks 50 weeks out of the year. Yet there have been many times when I haven’t been able to visit the resort but still wanted to experience […]

I work as a full time stay at home mom (SAHM) of two little boys. I am thankful that my husband can support us and I don’t currently work an office job, though I had one for the first year with my oldest son. Here I reflect on the differences between the two, my daily mom […]

The airplane started bouncing and all I could think was this is not happening; I can’t die on a work trip. Flight attendants had to sit the entire duration of the flight — there was no beverage service. It was a survive-the-flight kind of trip. I kept looking around at all of the other passengers […]

Every week, right around Tuesday, the food in my house becomes scarce – we have no groceries in sight. My husband will go through the ritual of going to the fridge and opening it, only to sigh and sit back down. My son will cry that I no longer have his favorite treat or his […]

When did REST become a four-letter-word? Rest to me seems luxurious, inappropriate, not to be talked about. Anyone else feel ashamed when they take a rest? Or worse, when they NEED to rest? I feel like there are two trends in our society. One is the Pinterest Mom. The other is the Lazy Mom. And […]

“Kids, you remember that we NEVER answer the door for anyone, right?” “Why not Mommy?” “Because we don’t know who it is, and it doesn’t matter WHO it is, we never answer unless we tell you it’s ok.” As I said the answer, something stirred in me on this particular day. I assumed it was […]

I’ve been reading Present Over Perfect which speaks about being still and finding the small moments of your life to really live. Oh, lordy how I need more of this in my life! Today, when I was at the park, I sat still. I watched my two little boys run and laugh and jump and […]

January of 2017 I decided to go on a 30 day no spending spree. And to clarify it was a no unnecessary spending. Obviously, I had to buy groceries and get gas, but only the essentials were purchased. I even went to Target and bought one item. That’s right, ONE! It was the only item […]
